Lightyear Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 This is an eMule feature that uses ISPs' HTTP proxies to cache p2p data. It would speed up transfers people on the same ISP.http://www.filesharingweb.de/mediaWiki/index.php/English:Webcachehttp://forum.emule-project.net/index.php?showtopic=14768&st=0Is this possible/good idea with BitTorrent?

splintax Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Wouldn't there be legal concerns with this? What if you were illegally downloading copyrighted stuff and then µTorrent puts it on your ISPs proxy server without your knowledge?I don't like the sound of it. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 There is also the Joltid Peer Cache, but it's so uncommon that the effort required for implementing it isn't worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
